Fundamentals of Biochemistry III - Information Pathways
We explore the biochemistry of informational macromolecules (DNA, RNA, and proteins), key players in the Central Dogma of Biology. We use molecular models to facilitate an understanding of structure/function relations. In addition, we explore reaction mechanisms for converting the information in DNA into RNA and then into proteins. This material is usually studied in molecular biology courses.
